Published prop-industry data puts the eval-to-payout rate near 7%. Trade League's structure pays the top 10% of traders every month — by design, not by chance. 90 cents of every dollar in (entries and resets, after our costs) funds the payout pool. Entries open the 1st of each month; the leaderboard locks at 4 PM ET on the last Friday. Better odds. Lower prices. Bigger payouts.

Payout pool funded by 90% of net entry + reset fees, after data, platform, affiliate, and payment processing costs. See “What TradeSport Makes” below for the full per-dollar breakdown.
Designed so more traders get paid.
Most prop firms only need a small percentage of traders to succeed for their business model to work. Independent research bears this out: across major futures firms, the realistic evaluation-to-payout rate falls between 2% and 9%, depending on firm and methodology.
The largest independent dataset available — 300,000 prop trading accounts across 10 firms — found a cross-firm average payout rate of 7%. Another major firm’s own published cohort math works out to 5.6% end-to-end, from evaluation purchase to first payout.
In other words: at most prop firms today, more than 9 out of 10 evaluation buyers walk away with nothing.
Trade League is built differently. The top 10% of traders earn every month — slightly above the most reliable industry benchmark. Our payout pool is funded by a uniform 90/10 split: after our actual costs, 90 cents of every dollar — entry or reset — goes straight to the pool, and 10 cents stays with TradeSport. The full breakdown is in “What TradeSport Makes” below. We’re solvent by design and profit when the platform runs well, not when traders fail.
You don’t need to clear an unpublished 1% threshold to get paid. You need to be in the top 10% — the same caliber of trader who’d be earning at any other firm. By design, that makes getting paid here structurally easier than under the traditional model — not because the trading is simpler, but because the math is built to pay traders, not bury them.

Full transparency on every dollar.
Most prop firms hide the math behind their fees. We don’t. Here’s exactly where every dollar goes — and exactly what stays with us.
One rule, applied to every dollar: after our actual costs, 90% goes to the payout pool, 10% to TradeSport.
For every $75 entry
- Data fees (TradeSea + CME, per user, monthly)$40.00
- Platform infrastructure (per account)$10.00
- Affiliate commission (where applicable)$5.00
- Payment processor fees$2.48
- Net after costs$17.52
- Payout pool (90% of net)$15.77
- TradeSport’s margin (10% of net)$1.75
For every $50 reset
- Platform infrastructure (per new account)$10.00
- Affiliate commission (per reset, where applicable)$2.00
- Payment processor fees$1.75
- Net after costs$36.25
- Payout pool (90% of net)$32.63
- TradeSport’s margin (10% of net)$3.63
Same rule, every transaction. Our model is solvent at any volume. We profit when the platform runs well — not when traders fail.
Risk & Refund Disclosure
Entry fees and reset fees are non-refundable except where required by law. By entering the competition you authorize the charge. Filing a chargeback for an authorized purchase may result in account suspension and forfeiture of pending payouts. Full terms in our Terms of Service.
TradeSport competitions run on simulated trading accounts. Every account uses real market data but never executes a real trade. Your maximum financial risk in any TradeSport competition is the cost of your entry — no amount of trading on a simulated account can put you in a deficit, and you cannot lose more than you pay to enter.
Simulated trading does not perfectly replicate the emotional pressure of live trading, and performance in TradeSport competitions does not guarantee profitability in live markets. TradeSport does not provide investment advice. If you choose to trade futures with real capital outside this platform, consult a qualified financial advisor.
